Qatar Airways Flights to U.S.A. Electronics Ban Lifted


Travel to the United States: Electronics ban lifted

Link

Qatar Airways is pleased to confirm that with immediate effect, all personal electronic devices can be carried on board all departures from Hamad International Airport to destinations in the United States.

Qatar Airways and Hamad International Airport have met with all requirements of the US Department of Homeland Security’s new security guidelines and we would like to express our thanks to the US and local authorities for their support during this process.

We would also like to thank our loyal passengers for their understanding and patience while the ban has been in place.

Perhaps ... but Turkey is hardly in the good political graces of the US. The TSA went out of their way to include Qatar in the discussion. Plus, I think the TSA will try to be apolitical. Guess we'll see in the next few days.

Thank goodness for that! I am pleased I was wrong about the politics of the situation.
Congratulations QR on a job very well done!
